Etymology

Călător is built on the Romanian noun cale, meaning road or way, which comes from Latin callis, a path or mountain trail. The agentive suffix -ător, cognate with Latin -ator, turns the root into someone who does the action tied to it. The related verb a călători (to travel) and the noun călătorie (journey) come from the same base.
